Close to Nature
For a long time human beings have been impressed by the view of solid stone. Stone reminds them of elemental forces, strength that resists everything – but also of steadiness, safety and shelter.
Stone is an elementary material and man already learned to handle it very early. Stone served as a material to build shelters against the weather, wild animals and trespassers, but also as tools, weapon, later it was awarded to have healing powers. Stones were worn as jewelry, and was suited for means of payment. And erratic blocks, treated or not, were already appreciated as decoration for yards, gardens or parks in the past. When it was necessary to create rooms as assembly rooms or to prove the right to rule a state or at least prosperity: People bet on stone as it ensured long-term usefulness even in case of strong strain.
To decorate rooms and gardens with stones was often restricted by “natural” facts: Stone literally weighs heavy – and this means a big challenge for the stress analyst. But today Stone Illusion® opens a nearly unlimited liberty to architects, stress analysts and their clients to use stone for creative esthetics of work, living and free time areas. Stone replicas made by Stone Illusion® do set apart from elementary stone regarding their weight: They are light – and so usable for any purpose!
The only existing limits are not being set by Stone Illusion®, but at the most by imagination ...
But as there already exists an elegant sailboat with a bar designed as a rock grotto, there is no need to worry about the realization of any imagination anywhere else.
The wide range of use that has been developed by Stone Illusion® is already known by experts and connoisseurs – even in the Orient.
Stone by Stone Illusion® does not try to look like natural stone made by designers and craftsmen – no, it is nature itself, the rock massifs, that designs them! So stone walls by Stone Illusion® as casts of real rock walls keep the original force and beauty of solid stone surfaces: with broken and sharp crusts, with smooth and porous surfaces, with inclusions. Their shape and color has the same unique effect on the viewer as an original stone!
These artificial erratic blocks can be equipped with a technical inner life, that supplements their decoration effect with further functions.
For example:
- later integrated in a pond as a spring stone
- surveillance of real property with integrated camera
- acoustic effects with weatherproof loudspeakers hidden inside the stone
- light effects decoratively combined with an artificial stone
- designing of aquariums and terrariums with artificial stone
However any artificial stone can be designed according to your wishes in shape and color.
